pushing yourself

Hi All I've been doing a lot of cycling this summer started in mid May I set out to challenge myself entered an event I wanted 50mi and rode 54 on my 20 year old Trail Blazer Mt bike. That was 3 Saturdays ago. Since then I've been riding 20 8 13 5 whatever I feel like. This past Saturday I had nothing todo was a beautiful day so went for a leisurley ride fig I'd go 30 but wasnt so much concered with the milage as I was with just enjoying the ride itself turning down a road I'd never been down before taking on a hill I never tried you know having fun. By the time I got close to home I had 51 mi in well legs were tired but had a bit of steam left in them pushed myself and with help fm God above by the time I got home I had 61 whew lol Thats the furthest I've ever riden made it in 4 hrs 34 min not super fast but then agn I was just enjoying the ride 🙂 It took a bit of pushing but after I gotten to a certain point I knew this was more than a ride it was a challenge to myself a goal with in a goal have fun then give it hell lol. I had very little soreness had a great sense of accomplishment and proud. Anyway just goes to show we can each go a little further do alittle better not only cycling but in life if we just push ourselves. Happy cycling 🙂)
